Luxe Lab

When i visited luxe lab for the first time I was forgotten about while the stylist i was seeing sat and talked to a "more important" client. When i was finally seated, His assistant scrambled to get things ready as he yelled at her. I found the whole experience horrible. It was the fastest i have ever been in an out of a salon with no care or concern. My highlights are so bad that i had to pay more to get them fixed at another salon.. don't go here. Not to mention it's way over priced and i was almost forced by the stylist to buy product.

Pros: it was clean

Cons: horrible service all around

Words alone cannot describe how happy I am that I walked into LuxeLab 3 years ago. I had "individual" hair extensions and a horrible blonde color (going yellow of course). I asked if anyone in the salon dealt with hair extensions and was directed to Malin...an artist! She trimmed the extensions so they didn't look like a broom, colored my hair and it looked awesome. Hold on, it gets better! About 6 months later Malin studied a new extension technique in Denmark (which is now known as Nordic Hair). At this point I trusted her with my hair (I've never trusted anyone with my hair). I was Malin's first client in the U.S. to have Nordic Hair. It really is amazing. I feel purrrrrrrty! In addition to Malin and her great eye for color, Nordic Hair and beauty, the time at the salon is worth it just to observe her and Moonie interract. Moonie also has "played around" with my hair and made me gorgeous. It is like they feed off of eachother (but in a good way). They give eachother great advice and giggle / fight like brother and sister. I love them. My sister also goes to Malin for hair cuts and all over color. Due to being an actor I am in NY for a while. I fly back to see Malin, because even with all of the pimpy salons here, there is no way in hell I am letting anyone break my streak of GOOD HAIR LUCK that I have with Malin. Addictive!

Pros: Treated like a Princess, Cleanliness, Super Friendly Staff, Great Hours...even Mondays!

Malin is my fav! She just knows the right colors for my complexion. And she makes the time in the salon so much fun! Her and Muni introduced me to NordicHair, quite possibly the best extension ever. Ive tried other extensions before and I have to say NordicHair gets 5 stars :)

Pros: Parking, Neighborhood, Staff

Cons: wish it was closer to the valley

I had long thick hair. I needed a change and went in to this salon on the spur of the moment. Natalie gave me a modern , really hot bob haircut. I have thick curly hair and had not gone short since I was a teenager and it had been a disaster as my hair went so big. Natalie, however did an amazing job. I had people stopping me on the street to tell me what an amazing haircut I had and how "hot" it was. I went back after 6 weeks to have it redone but the second time it did not look as good. When the owner Jason found out I was not happy with the second cut, he personally gave me a free cut,that was great, instructed me on how to style it and gave me a huge and very expensive amount of free hair product. He also offered to let me go in and have a free style until my hair cut grew out a bit and was more manageable. Of course I did not do that as he was already more than generous and so caring. I have never experienced a better customer service anywhere. Jason really cares that his clients leave happy and satisfied. I would highly recommend this salon to everyone. They are true professionals.

Pros: Owner really looks after all clients

Cons: None

I saw Luxe Lab while shopping in it's neighborhood. Appeared to be a nice salon, I was drawn in by brand names like Bumble and Kerastase. I was greeted nicely. Place was very tidy, almost scary sanitized tidy like a hospital. The salon consists of Stylists, assistants, and maintenance staff. My stylist ran late and wreaked of cigarettes. And had bad breathe. I won't go back. My haircut is lopsided and looks like a 5 year old hacked it with pruning shears.

Pros: Cleanliness

Cons: Staff

Since moving to LA 2 years ago, I've been to countless salons, always leaving feeling "unheard" and "unhappy" with the results of my color & cut. My experience at Luxe Lab was just the opposite . . . they TRULY care and are passionate about hair and WANT to HEAR what you want and have envisioned for your hair . . . then it's collaboration time. I went to Cheryl and she was wonderful! Finally, someone who supports me in having LONG hair! And the color she used looks beautiful . . . I typically leave a salon with brassy, goldish blonde hair . . . not this time. It's stunning . . bright and natural looking!! So, I HIGHLY recommend this salon!! THANKS Cheryl & Ozzie :)

Pros: The atmosphere; plenty of parking; the stylists

Cons: Nothing

I have been to salons all over Los Angeles and Jeff Davidson at Luxe Lab is one of THE BEST out there. He is down to earth, unpretentious, and does a phenomenal job from beginning to end. Color, cut & blowdry left me feeling like a million dollars (but at a fraction of the cost.) I will definitely be coming back!!!!!!!!

Pros: friendly/knowledgeable staff, convenient location, reasonably priced

Cons: none

Suzanne does the best color and her cuts are AMAZING!! She takes her time, gets a feel for your hair & how it would look best. She is a very talented girl. Any time I have been in Luxe Lab, everyone leaves looking fabulous!

Pros: Talented stylists

Cons: Somewhat expensive...but not too bad & definitely worth it!!
